Yet Another Vintage Port Flex Post (Tasting Selections From 1985 – 2022)
Last week, I published a bunch of reviews from an NYC media tasting of selections from the (stellar) 2024 Port vintage. I typically follow those type of posts up with another post of other, older selections of vintage Ports that I tasted at the same event, and I offer them without much shame as simply […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

“Unquestionably Among the Greatest Wines in the World” (Tasting the 2024 Port Vintage)
You’ll find no shortage of Vintage Port coverage on these virtual pages (something that, as I taste more and more vintages of the stuff, has become a source of amusing vexation as I search for whether or not a VP that I want to feature here has already been reviewed and featured here…). And you’ll […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com . Grab the books! Source

Small Is Big: Andreola Valdobbiadene Recent Releases
Andreola‘s Stefano Pola wants you to know that Prosecco’s main ingredient—Glera—is not a grape that should be dismissed as somehow ignoble. “Considering that from a single grape variety we can create a Brut and Extra Brut, and considering its versatility with food, this is not a smaller grape variety,” he told me during an online […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

Obnoxious, In a Good Way, Part 2 (More from Del Dotto Vineyards)
Remember when I kind of wanted to hate that big-ass Napa Cab from Del Dotto Vineyards? Well, there’s now a sequel to that story. Not too long ago, Shannon and I managed to escape the confines of our typical (yet blissful!) domestic scenario for a date night, and once again I decided to indulge her […] Source

Southern Hills (Tasting Abruzzo Diversity at Philly’s Le Virtù)
Back in October (yeah, yeah, I know, I KNOW…) I was invited to attend a media lunch at Philly’s excellent Le Virtù, focusing on the diversity of wines from Italy’s Abruzzo region. So of course I said no, thanks. JK. I wasn’t about to turn down something like that so close to my own (current) […] Source

What We Drank for Shannon’s Birthday (2018 Piazza Del Dotto Cabernet)
It was January. It was Shannon’s birthday. And it was cold outside. Not chilly. Not brisk. COLD. Like, f-cking polar bear cold. She wanted something big, bold, and unapologetic about both. So, I raided the sample pool, and obliged! And that’s it. That’s the whole story. Well, apart from what we drank, I mean… 2018 […] Source

Rectified (Quinta da Fonte Souto Recent Releases)
Over the years since my last visit to Portugal’s Alentejo region in 2019, I’ve sparingly mentioned on these virtual pages the wines of Quinta da Fonte Souto, Symington’s first property outside of the Douro (acquired in 2017), a site that drew them in due to its high (by Alto Alentejo standards) elevation of 500 meters […] Source
